This just in....the shipping time was insanely fast!!!

*VERY RARE!*

1 of 2 made by Tommykaira in this pattern for the V36 Skyline/Infiniti G35/7.

Non-grain high quality fine leather with the classic Tommykaira signature logo embossed in the center.


Once I find someone to wrap my interior, I'll install this along with Ryne's steering wheel and the Impul shift ****

Finally....I found the correct Blitz controller. Also getting some Impul horns and if I can convince myself to keep spending money, a JDM navi console.


On a sad note, I sold the Top Secret hood struts. As Kenny advised me, I will probably have seller's remorse. Lol

It sucks because I don't even know if they're going to make them in gold for the V36 platform. So far, only the V35 platform was announced. My fingers are crossed though

Finally took the IPL out of the box. And, I came into some good luck and grabbed a Top Secret engine cover.

That Top Secret cover is so ugly I think you should flip it over to me lmaooo

You know I'm just kidding with ya! I really am happy it went to a good home and to someone like yourself that will appreciate it! And now you can sell your ipl cover if you plan on installing the TS one and make some money back! Win win situation!

Some things I've realized recently:

-I want a Cusco strut bar.
-Thanks to Kenny, I now want more engine dress up bolts!
-I want a different intake; preferable a long tube design.
-The Billion radiator cap is cool, but it doesn't "go" with look that I want.
-My Top Secret gas cap cover is not fitting properly, so I'm going to try and tinker with it some more (still not selling it!!!)

So, this is what I'm referring to with the TS gas cap. It seems that my oem cap sits on an angle pretty high up in the compartment. The TS can go on and stay put without a problem, however, I can't turn it to release the gas cap to fuel up. Not a huge biggie, but I really didn't want to take the cap off the oem cap (clearly I couldn't use the double sided tape on the inside of the cap) every 3 days. I could try and put the original screws back and see it that would help, but I really like the West Coast fasteners

Still deciding on the look/color theme of my engine bay. However, after seeing the TS cf engine cover in there, I think I'm sold on carbon fiber (not too much, but just enough to remain tasteful) with a few polished aluminum pieces. I already have the aluminum coolant overflow tank and I'll be getting the Billion aluminum power steering tank soon.

So of course with my luck, something bad happened after something really great. Although it was way over what I wanted to pay, I managed to score a super rare JDM item...which should hopefully be in my possession SOON.

Onto the bad news. My bumper was scratched and dented in a collaborative mishap between me and my other half. So I will turn lemons into lemonade and get this taken care of plus, get the OEM sport lower bumper trim that you NEVER see in the states.

Accentuating the positives
